Psychology Professor's Novel Debuts to Glowing Reviews
Otterbein University psychology professor Noam Shpancer's debut novel, The Good Psychologist, hit shelves in August 2010 to glowing reviews by book critics across the country. Shpancer drew heavily from his own experiences when he crafted The Good Psychologist, which centers on a clinical psychologist and professor at a small college in the Midwest. The book explores his relationships with his clients, his loved ones and his students.
